While everyone was staring at how Zhao Xu reacted, the Censorate had an abnormal movement.

Yan Xun, the Censor of the Supervisory Censor, wrote a letter to impeach the Shangshu official Fangshu Wang Kecun, who was corrupt and abused the law. He received bribes during a dispatch and sold state assets to individuals. Moreover, such incidents have happened many times. Yan Xun provided very clear evidence and even found evidence;

Huang Lian, the Censor of the Supervisory Censor, wrote a letter to impeach the Dali Temple Chief Wang Juzheng. Wang Juzheng was in charge of bribes from prisoners and interfered in the judiciary. He even had the plaintiff and the defendant after eating, and the evidence was conclusive;

The censor Li Xingcheng Hao wrote a letter to impeach the family of Cheng Fu, the military farmer, who occupied the land of his neighbors. The neighbors sued him and were even beaten to a serious disabled person;

Censor Huang Haoqian wrote a letter to impeach Lu Hui. During his experience as a censor, he repeatedly experienced corruption in judicial dereliction of duty, involving bribes of more than 100,000 yuan. The evidence was conclusive, and the time, place, and all the evidence was complete;

...

These are just the listed parts. The number of impeachments in the Censorate this wave is as high as 40, and they are all middle-level officials who hold important positions.

The Censor's operation shocked the court!

...

Cao's uncle Cao Qi went straight to Han Mansion.

"Secret Han, what should I do now!"

Cao Qi was so anxious that he was sweating profusely in the middle of winter.

Among these forty people, there are more than a dozen people from the Cao family. The Cao family is not only among the imperial guards, but also in the center.

But he is different from the Han family and the Cui family, which have great family members. These dozen officials who occupy important positions are civil officials who can take action by the Cao family. The rest are either unimportant positions or even lack of a defensive official. If these dozen people are compensated, the Cao family will be completely pulled out of the court, leaving only the strength of the imperial guards.

This was a big defeat for the Cao family.

No wonder Cao Qi was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan.

Han Qi also frowned. Most of the more than 40 people were from the Han family and Cui family. The Cui family was his wife's family, and they were actually his people. These thirty people were the key to his control of the court. Now these thirty people have been found to have conclusive evidence, and it is difficult to protect them now.

Fortunately, the senior executives, Lu Gongzhu, seemed to be scruples and did not dare to move, but he was not sure whether Ouyang Bian was scruples or was holding on to bigger tricks.

This kid doesn't talk about martial ethics!

Han Qi cursed in his heart.

They impeach others, just throw dirty water, and then use some righteous charges to impeach the emperor to investigate. It is best to find out some problems, or they feel ashamed of the impeacher, and then ask themselves to go to the prefectures and counties, which can be regarded as giving each other a way out.

But I never thought that this kid had the evidence to be irrefutable, how did they deal with it?

Of course, they actually wanted to deal with Ouyang Bian in this way, but they couldn't find any evidence!

Seeing that Han Qi didn't say anything, Cao Qi became even more anxious and said in a crying voice: "Prince, you have to come up with a solution, otherwise all these people will be turned in!"

Seeing Cao Qi so unbearable, Han Qi was a little irritated and shouted softly: "What are you panic!"

When Cao Qi was yelled like this, his head suddenly became clear, his face turned a little red, but his heart became a little angry.

Han Qi felt something was wrong. Cao Guojiu was not his subordinate. It was indeed inappropriate to scold him like this. He quickly said with a gentle voice: "Don't panic, uncle, the matter has not reached the point of panic. Have you noticed that Ouyang Bian is just targeting middle-level officials. He was not moving at the top. It is possible that he was just warning us."

Cao Qi was stunned: "Warning?"

Han Qi nodded: "Yes, so many of us are targeting him now, and he is in great trouble. He doesn't want to lose both sides with us. If he touches our top leaders, then the court will be in turmoil. Your Majesty will definitely not want to see that situation, so he can only move the middle and lower levels to tell us, show his power, and let us restrain ourselves."

Cao Qi thought about it and found it made sense: "Then should we negotiate peace now?"

Han Qi pondered.

However, Cao Guojiu was a little anxious.

Han Qi can negotiate peace, but he can't. Empress Dowager Cao's health has become increasingly ineffective recently. No matter how capable he is, he can't hold on for a few years. If he doesn't make progress at this time, the decline of the Cao family will inevitably be inevitable.

It is not that important for middle-level officials to be cleared out. As long as the senior officials can go further and be promoted in the future.

But if Ouyang Bian does not retreat, the Cao family will not be able to go further. How can this be done?

"Secret Han, you can't retreat. Ouyang Bian, the little fox, might just be numbing us. When we are fooled, he will hit us with another thunder blow, and it will be too late to regret it."

Han Qi disagreed: "The Empress Dowager Cao is still there, how can he dare to clean up the Cao family? The uncle has filtered it, but the uncle said that there is indeed such a possibility. We must be careful not to be deceived."

Han Qi comforted Cao Guojiu for a moment.

But he didn't think much of it.

Wen Rencaiyan, who was more than 30 gentry members, was not a joke. If he gave up these more than 30 people and wanted to find more than 30 such outstanding young people, it would not be that easy.

Once this crime of corruption and abuse of law is implemented, even if they are destroyed and even if they are barely kept, it will be difficult for them to make progress in the future, so these people cannot give up.

The reason why aristocratic families are aristocratic families is because the talents they absorb. This group of people is the next generation of successors they have launched. If these people are destroyed and some people with insufficient qualifications come up, even if they win this battle, they will eventually lose.

The Cui family of the Han family is a great family and has a much deeper foundation than the Cao family. The Empress Dowager Cao, who was relying on the Cao family, is too old, so the Cao family is very anxious, but Han Qi himself feels young and has at least more than ten years to arrange, so he is not in a hurry.

This time, there was nothing extraordinary about compromise with Ouyang Bian. After this time, Ouyang Bian also knew his strength. Even if he was not convinced, he would at least not dare to stay with him.

The purpose is actually achieved.

As for the Cao family, haha, what does their life and death have to do with me? They can even free up their positions, add two to five, one person, half, half to Ouyang Bian, and half to insert their own people into it. Isn’t that right?

Although Ouyang Bian's threat is even greater, he has enough time anyway, so it is not too late to deal with it slowly in the future.

Thinking of this, Han Qi smiled at Cao Guojiu.
Chapter completed!
